[The Mountain Goats - In the Craters on the Moon lyrics]
If the strain proves too much
Give up right away
If the light hurts your eyes
Stay in your room all day
When the room fills with smoke
Lie down on the floor in the declining years
Of the long war
Well the blood’s in the water
And the shark’s gonna come
And we swim in the dark
Until our bodies are numb
Blind desert rats in the moonlight
Too far from shore in the declining years
Of the long war
Empty room with a lightbulb
Where the phone starts to ring
Everybody gets nervous nobody says anything
The next day someone’s initials
Show up on the door i think I’m gonna crack
Can’t live like this anymore
Ugly things in the darkness
Worse things in store in the declining years
Of the long war
Give up right away
If the light hurts your eyes
Stay in your room all day
When the room fills with smoke
Lie down on the floor in the declining years
Of the long war
Well the blood’s in the water
And the shark’s gonna come
And we swim in the dark
Until our bodies are numb
Blind desert rats in the moonlight
Too far from shore in the declining years
Of the long war
Empty room with a lightbulb
Where the phone starts to ring
Everybody gets nervous nobody says anything
The next day someone’s initials
Show up on the door i think I’m gonna crack
Can’t live like this anymore
Ugly things in the darkness
Worse things in store in the declining years
Of the long war
